Blueberry Cranberry Pie Recipe

Step by Step Method

Step 1

To make the crust, combine the flour, salt and sugar in a food processor; add the butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse meal.

Step 2

Add the sour cream and water; process a few seconds until a dough ball just starts to form (do not over-process).

Step 3

Note: to make the dough by hand, place ingredients in a mixing bowl and use a pastry blender to cut butter and shortening into flour mixture; add the sour cream and ice water, and just mix until it comes together and forms a mass.

Step 4

Transfer the dough to a floured work surface and pat down to about 1-inch thick.

Step 5

Cut into 2 pieces; wrap each one in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or overnight.

Step 6

To make filling, coarsely grind the orange in a food processor or blender; set aside.

Step 7

In a large saucepan, mix together all remaining ingredients, along with orange, stirring to combine, and bring to a boil.

Step 8

Reduce heat to a simmer and cook, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and sugar is dissolved, about 4-6 minutes; set aside to cool completely.

Step 9

Position the rack in the center of the oven, and the other rack just beneath it.

Step 10

Peheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Step 11

To prepare pie, roll out 1 piece of the dough on a slightly floured surface into a circle about 12-inches in diameter (dust surface with more flour as necessary).
